<abstract id="abst" lang="en">
<p id="pa01" num="0001">A video encoding apparatus with a guarantee of a fixed processing time comprises a encoding unit (41) for performing an arithmetic decoding process with context modeling on the video signal; and a controlling unit (45, 46) for controlling the arithmetic decoding process so as to terminate the arithmetic encoding process in case of outputting raw data of the video signal as a bit stream.
